question about sys option file? 1

[rs6000er]

hi everyboday
i have a question about system option file.
my tsm server installed on a windows operatng system and one of the tsm client is aix server.
the aix server's system client file like the following:
SErvername TSM
COMMmethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress 172.15.103.182
schedlogretention 2 s
errorlogretention 2 s
schedlogname /wrk/dsmsched.log
errorlogname /wrk/dsmerror.log
passwordaccess generate

SErvername TSM_ORACLE
COMMmethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress 172.15.103.182
passwordaccess prompt
schedlogretention 2 s
errorlogretention 2 s
schedlogname /wrk/dsmosched.log
errorlogname /wrk/dsmoerror.log


i added some something like below:
TXNBytelimit 2097152
TCPBufsize 32
TCPNodelay Yes
TCPWindowsize 64

but i foumd some error messages in errorlog as below:
Invalid option 'TCPBUFSIZE' found in options file '/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.sys'
at line number : 26
Invalid entry : 'TCPBufsize 32'

02/03/05 18:29:54 ANS1038S Invalid option specified

but the rest of them was not metioned in error log and the
TCPWindowsize and TCPNodelay were changed in tsm clent whick can be found by dsmc command " query option".
the only thing seemed ok just TXNBytelimit = 2097152.

can anybody tell me how to set up those correct network paramaters and how to let them work?

thank you for you attention!

Please refer to the BA client for UNIX install guide in the future as this is pretty trivial.. You have a typo in your parameter.

It's TCPBuffsize 32 (note the two f's)

Or you could simply specify TCPB 32 (the caps indicate the minimum # of chars you need to specify).

Note also the default is 31. So setting it to 32 is likely to do nothing for you.

firstly, i am very appreciate Yrrk answered my question.
i am tuning the performance of my BA client and server.
and some documentation said the TCPBuffsize 31 is default and for unix this paramater should be 32.
just like you mentioned, if it isn't helpful to me, what is the number good for aix server?
could you give me some recommdation about performance tuning of tsm server and BA client.

thank you very much!!!

You will find some useful performance information here.

Hope this helps

i added more entries in my dsm.sys like following:

TXNBytelimit 25600
TCPBuffsize 32
TCPNodelay Yes
TCPWindowsize 64
LARGECOMmbuffers Yes

and then refreshed the dsmc process.
but in dsmc command-console, the command query option still showed the option setting without those new paramaters.
the whole output like below:
